Kochi: The serial blasts at a convention centre in Kalamassery, near Kochi, has shaken up not just Kerala but the entire country as well.

After Union Home minister Amit Shah ordered NIA and NSG teams to assist local police in the investigation, Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced on Sunday evening that a 20-member team will probe the blasts that killed two persons and injured more than 40 people.

“What happened in Kalamassery is very unfortunate. Currently, 41 people are hospitalised, 27 people admitted in Ernakulam Medical College… 4 people have been discharged. Two people have died, and 5 are critical. A special team led by ADGP Law and Order will be investigating the incident… 20 members will be in the investigating team,” Vijayan said at a briefing in Thiruvananthapuram.

The CM has called an all-party-meeting on Monday.

Kerala Police have filed an FIR in the blast case under sections 302, 307, Explosive Substances Act and UAPA.

A man named Dominic Martin claimed responsibility for the blasts and surrendered to the police in Thrissur district.

Police are interrogating him and are yet to confirm his involvement in the case.
